Denise Randall Acai Scam

Sometimes I wonder if Acai scammers hang out together around a witches cauldron, torture kittens and try to dream up the most disgusting acai scams they can think of.  We thought the Julia  Miller Acai Health News Scam was about as low as they could go – but guess what – they went lower!

How To Turn Ann Curry into Denise Randall and Create a New Acai Scam

You know Ann Curry – the well respected anchor of the NBC Today Showshe has now been transformed into Denise Randall, nutritionist and weight loss consultant for US Medical Journal.  Amazingly, she used an Acai product and a colon cleanse and lost 17 pounds in 4 weeks!

Confused?  No Idea How Ann Curry Becomes Denise Randall and Works for US Medical Journal?  It is Bizarre…

The scammers have come up with a new dirty trick in their bag – create fake Medical Journals!  But wait, that is not low enough for them – so they also slapped Ann Curry’s picture up there, gave her a new name and claim she has lost a ton of weight.

Simply put, this is just one of those acai scams you really need to see to believe…

Help Us Spread the Word Before Anyone Else Loses Their Money

FTC, FDA, Ann Curry, The Today Show… Somebody Do Something!

These scam sites need to be shut down.  The FTC has clear policy against deceptive advertising – how can this not be seen as deceptive advertising?  By not taking action, this scammers are getting more bold because there are no consequences to their actions.  Maybe when they decide to slap the picture of the FTC Commissioner on one of their fake news site and talk about how he lost 20 pounds in a night, that will draw the FTC’s attention???

We love clinical studies – the more clinical studies the better, we just can’t get enough of them.  The only problem is that we seem to spend a lot of money and time to conduct studies that just prove what we already know – eating crap is bad for you!

Healthy Diet Plays a Role in Preventing Alzheimer’s Disease

A study in the April 2010 edition of Archives of Neurology finds that consuming a diet high in fruits, vegetables, nuts and fish (basically the Mediterranean diet) appears to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, when compared to individuals who eat a diet made up of more high-fat dairy products and red meats.

“The results of the current study indicate that higher consumption of certain foods (salad dressing, nuts, fish, tomatoes, poultry, cruciferous vegetables, fruits, dark and green leafy vegetables) and lower of others (high-fat dairy, red meat, organ meat, and butter) may be associated with a decreased risk of developing AD via a more favorable profile of nutrients (ie, lower ingestion of SFA and higher ingestion of PUFA, vitamin E, and folate). Our findings provide support for further exploration of food combination–based dietary behavior for the prevention of this important public health problem.”

Don’t Get Us Wrong – This is Excellent News and a Sound Study

Don’t get us wrong – this is a gret study – done by researchers at Columbia University.  Obviously, anyone who is at risk for Alzheimer’s should seriously consider changing their diet to help reduce their risk.  Our point is simply this – this study shows what most of us in the natural food world know and what our mother’s have told us for generations – eat well to feel well!

How Much More Proof Do We Need that Natural Foods are Good for Us???

While pharmaceutical companies deal with more and more of their drugs being pulled from the market for being unsafe, study after study are proving the obvious- our diet directly effects our health! You want to live longer – eat a healthy diet and avoid taking pharmaceuticals that may have unpleasant side effects… like death!

So, keep the studies coming – keep doing research on the health benefits of eating more fruits and veggies and less Big Macs – let’s see all the “shocking” results.  Maybe someday soon cutting edge, on the fringe doctors will prescribe crazy experimental “drugs” like lettuce and broccoli to keep their patients healthy and feeling great.

We are often asked – “If I could take only 5 Supplements – what should I take?”  Seems like a very reasonable question and we have been guilty of answering it in the past.  Sure we love things like Acai, Resveratrol, Omega 3’s, whole food vitamins, etc.  The problem is that the top 5 Supplements that work for us, may not work for you.
